Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 233 But once the business matters were settled, the weight of family affairs pressed in. Trey had always imagined that he would endure with Angela until his family gave up opposing him, until his career succeeded. Yet now, standing at this moment, he felt none of the exhilaration he had expected. Khloe was no longer relevant at the company, yet she remained, in name, his wife-and she still loved him so fiercely. 1 If he were to expose the truth and leave her in such a cruel manner... she would hate him, wouldn't she? In the past, Trey had felt guilty but not conflicted.

It didn't matter what happened to Khloe; his gratitude and affection belonged to Angela. To be with her, sacrificing Khloe was merely a necessary cost. But somewhere along the way, Khloe had become woven into every corner of his life, her presence impossible to ignore. And now... he found himself reluctant to let her go. After a shower, Trey returned to his room. Angela happened to be changing clothes. Whether by accident or design, she was trying on several sets of new lingerie-each one alluringly provocative. Inevitably, he paused at the doorway for a moment before stepping forward.

He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her, slowly and deliberately, from her neck down to her chest. Angela tilted her head back, initially feigning resistance with a few playful pushes, but soon she melted into his embrace, her movements growing increasingly compliant. Trey's eyes narrowed as he noticed something unusual in the soft glow of the room. "Your birthmark..." He brushed aside Angela's hair and carefully searched behind her ear and along the nape of her neck-but the tiny, crimson mark that had once been there was gone.

The mark had always been small, the size of a sesame seed, hidden deep enough to be barely visible. Normally, he would not have noticed it. But tonight, wanting to revisit the memories of their past, he sought it deliberately -and realized he hadn't seen it in a long time. Back on the snow-capped mountains, when he had rested behind her shoulder, all he saw was that tiny red mark. When he first spoke of it upon meeting Angela, it was the only detail he could recall. Trey quickly turned on the light. Angela, startled by his sudden intensity, froze. "That mark... I removed it a long time ago.

Didn't I tell you?" she said, her voice calm but evasive. "Why remove it? That mark may be subtle behind your ear, but it meant everything to me..." Trey's voice rose with disbelief and urgency. He had told her before-he had loved that tiny red birthmark as if it were a drop of his own blood. "I... the placement was inconvenient. I thought it might affect my luck. The company's going public, and I just... wanted some reassurance." Angela, unsure how else to explain, lowered her gaze and muttered a line even she felt absurd saying.

He turned, grabbed a pack of cigarettes, and said, "I'm going to the balcony to smoke. You should rest." "Trey..." Angela wanted to protest, but he gave her no chance. On the balcony, he locked the door behind him. He could no longer suppress it. Fingers trembling slightly, he dialed Khloe's number. At that moment, Khloe had just stepped out of the shower, her hair piled high as she sliced fruit in the kitchen for Nick. His familiar presence brushed past her ear.

She instinctively drew her neck back, but a cool fingertip traced a spot behind her ear. "Khloe... your mark... it's beautiful."
